Our Program

Santa Monica provides a holistic treatment experience that utilizes proven practices to improve women’s mental, physical and spiritual health. We utilize multiple therapeutic strategies to improve our clients’ cognitive-behavioral patterns and to address their physical and psychological traumas. We help women develop a sense of personal accountability with structured programming that focuses on practical life skills, twelve-step participation, and outside employment. Each woman is provided with knowledge and tools to prevent relapse, while our family education program helps those closest to her better understand her disease. Santa Monica’s halfway house program can last from 6 to 12 months; the length of stay for each woman is individualized based on her needs and her progress in treatment.
